Around the World

Every evening at 6pm in December prior to Christmas Eve people in my hometown gather in front of the old city hall to sing together, listen to Christmas stories and celebrate the unveiling of yet another window of the artsy Christmas Calendar. A great event, every single time!

Approaching the gates of Castle Eltz you feel smaller and smaller with the massive medieval castle growing in front of yourself. I got lucky catching a short moment without any tourist in front of myself being able to capture this awesome photo before the next load of people stepped in front of me and my camera.

Hidden in the hills above the Mosel river between Koblenz and Trier you find castle Eltz. Visiting at the beginning of December 2017 the first snow had fallen and despite temperatures below zero I had an awesome time exploring the area. The magificant castle made for this awesome photo, which makes you wanna go back to medieval times.

In anticipation of a spectacular sunset I took off from Hannover going to the Marienburg close to Pattensen only to be caught up in a thunderstorm. But patience paid off and after having to wait for a while the rain stopped and the clouds broke giving the sun a last chance for the day to send their rays onto this beautiful castle.

Standing at the shore of the Rhine River close to the Hohenzollern Bridge in Colgne you have this amazing view of the Cologne Cathedral. It turned out to be a beautiful evening after a rainy afternoon with myself being afraid not being able to go out to take some photos anymore. But I am happy with this catch of the day.

Taken from the top of the Traders Hotel in the city center of Kuala Lumpur, the majestic Petronas Towers stand out from the city's skyline. The photo was actually taken while enjoying a glass of Pinot Noir at the awesome Skybar which does not only offer awesome views but also features a 30m pool for those who like to take a swim under the watchful eyes of the other visitors.

Flying in and out of Frankfurt airport all the time I finally had the chance to carry my camera into the city and was able to take this shot of the Frankfurt Skyline with the Commerzbank Tower glowing in the evening sky.
